Malai is an ice cream company that takes inspiration from globally-sourced whole ingredients, aromatic spices, and unexpected twists on classic flavors. The name "Malai" figuratively translates to "cream of the crop" in a North Indian language, representing the decadent blend of cream and culture each scoop offers.

With a flagship shop located at 268 Smith Street in Brooklyn, NY, Malai invites customers to experience their unique flavors daily from 1pm to 10pm. Additionally, the company offers catering services with beautifully designed ice cream carts available for weddings, corporate parties, fairs, and markets, adding a touch of sweet indulgence to any event.

From interactive maps to requesting favorite flavors at local stores, Malai ensures that customers can easily find their delicious pints. The company also offers a range of merchandise, including soft Supima-cotton tees, signature totes, special chai masala based on a grandmother's recipe, and block printed tea towels, all available for nationwide shipping or pickup at their Brooklyn shop.
